New Student Loan Borrowers
As a reminder, if you are a new federal student loan borrower, and you accepted the federal direct subsidized/unsubsidized loan(s) offered on your financial aid award, you are required to complete Entrance Counseling and sign a Master Promissory Note before the Financial Aid Office can finalize the loan(s) and credit your student account. Both requirements are completed online at www.studentaid.gov. Students can login to the My Financial Aid system to verify that both requirements have been completed.

Refunds and Direct Deposit
Is your student account overpaid and are you expecting a refund? We will begin the refund process for the Fall 2023 semester the week of September 11 after the Fall add/drop period ends.
Student Refunds
-
If a student has a credit on their account due to excess federal financial aid (Federal Student Loans, Federal Pell Grant, etc), a refund will be processed automatically within 14 days of the funds being posted to a student’s account. These funds will officially post to student’s accounts after the add/drop period.
-
If the credit on a student’s account is due to non-federal financial aid (private loan, outside scholarship, overpayment, etc.), students can request a refund by completing the Refund Request Form found under the Refunds tab in ePay. This form will be available in ePay on September 7 after the add/drop period ends. If a student does not want excess funds refunded, the funds will be retained and applied to future charges.
Refunds Due to Federal Parent Plus Loan
Refunds due to excess Federal Parent Plus Loan funds will be processed automatically within 14 days of the funds being posted to a student’s account. These funds will officially post to student’s accounts after the add/drop period. A paper check will be mailed to the parent borrower’s address as listed on their PLUS Loan application. Refunds will be issued to the student only if the parent requests it on the PLUS application.
Direct Deposit
We highly recommend students enroll in direct deposit, so they receive their funds in a safe and timely manner. Click here for instructions on how to enroll. Please note, direct deposit for PLUS Loan refunds is currently not available.

💡 Tip of the Month
Go to Class! If a student does not attend a class for two weeks, the instructor has the right to withdraw them at any time during the semester. If you receive federal financial aid and do not attend class and are removed from a course, Title IV (federal financial aid) funds may be cancelled and removed from your aid award per federal regulations.
Please refer to the University’s policies below for more information.
